2.Ask the client if they want to sign in via a third party

3.Make a request to a third-party API endpoint

4.Redirect to a third party authentication endpoint

5.Make a request to the access token endpoint

6.Receive access token

7.Receive authorization code*

Authenticating with an Authorization code provides a secure way to connect Method:CRM to a trusted machine installed with the Method Sync Engine, without the need for account, email, or password. Generate an Authorization Code

Access tokens are used in token-based authentication to allow an application to access an API. The application receives an access token after a user successfully authenticates and authorizes access, then passes the access token as a credential when it calls the target API.

It enables apps to obtain limited access (scopes) to a user’s data without giving away a user’s password. It decouples authentication from authorization and supports multiple use cases addressing different device capabilities.

Document the following Vocabulary Terms : (Links to an external site.) Client ID (Links to an external site.) Client ID The client_id is a public identifier for apps. Even though it’s public, it’s best that it isn’t guessable by third parties, so many implementations use something like a 32-character hex string. It must also be unique across all clients that the authorization server handles.

Client Secret (Links to an external site.) Client Secret. The client_secret is a secret known only to the application and the authorization server. It must be sufficiently random to not be guessable, which means you should avoid using common UUID libraries which often take into account the timestamp or MAC address of the server generating it.

Authentication Endpoint (Links to an external site.) What is endpoint authentication (device authentication)? - Definition from WhatIs.com Endpoint authentication is a security mechanism designed to ensure that only authorized devices can connect to a given network, site or service. The approach is also known as device authentication.

Access Token Endpoint (Links to an external site.) The /oauth/token endpoint is used by the application in order to get an access token or a refresh token. It is used by all flows except for the Implicit Flow because in that case an access token is issued directly.

API Endpoint (Links to an external site.) What is an API Endpoint? Simply put, an endpoint is one end of a communication channel. When an API interacts with another system, the touchpoints of this communication are considered endpoints. For APIs, an endpoint can include a URL of a server or service.

Authorization Code (Links to an external site.) The EPP code, which other registrars may refer to as the Authorization or Auth code, is essentially a unique password for the domain, made up of letters, numbers, and special characters. It’s used to prove your ownership of the domain and authorize a domain transfer.

Access Token (Links to an external site.) An access token is an object that describes the security context of a process or thread. The information in a token includes the identity and privileges of the user account associated with the process or thread. When a user logs on, the system verifies the user’s password by comparing it with information stored in a security database.
